注意：

1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右

2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。

Hearingthegoodnews，Willturnedoverjoyed.(1)(2)

答案和解析1~3.【答案】A、B、C【解析】（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段下面表格中的信息可知，從舊金山到拉斯維加斯，乘公共汽車需要花費(fèi)34美元，乘坐飛機(jī)需要花費(fèi)75美元，開小汽車需要50美元，并沒有提到乘坐火車的方式。由此可推斷出，從舊金山到拉斯維加斯，乘公共汽車是最便宜的方式。故選A。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)TheBestTimetoTraveltoLasVegas部分Wintertimeisactuallyconsideredhighseason，sincethisiswhentravelersfromaroundtheU.S.usuallycometoescapethecoldertemperaturesinotherpartsofthecountry.Hotelsareusuallybookedup.（冬季實(shí)際上是旅游旺季，為了逃避美國(guó)其他地區(qū)較冷的氣溫，美國(guó)各地的游客都會(huì)選擇來這里，酒店通常都被訂滿了。）由此可推斷出，想要在拉斯維加斯體驗(yàn)美好的時(shí)光，你應(yīng)該在旺季提前預(yù)定酒店。故選B。

（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)WhattoDoinLasVegas部分family-friendlyattractionslikethethrillridesatStratosphereTower（適合家庭的景點(diǎn)，比如平流層塔的驚險(xiǎn)游樂設(shè)施）可知在拉斯維加斯有一些家庭友好型的景點(diǎn)，如：thethrillridesatStratosphereTower（云霄塔高空游樂場(chǎng)）。由此可知，最適合家庭的活動(dòng)是thethrillridesatStratosphereTower（云霄塔高空游樂場(chǎng)）。故選C。

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了關(guān)于去拉斯維加斯旅行的相關(guān)信息，如旅行費(fèi)用、時(shí)間、路線和娛樂活動(dòng)等。

閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋。考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)。

4~7.【答案】D、B、C、D【解析】（1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的My

grandfather

had

taught

music

for

nearly

forty

years.Though

much

beloved

and

respected

in

the

community，he

earned

barely

enough

to

provide

for

his

large

family.As

a

consequence

of

this

example

in

the

family，the

very

mention

of

music

as

a

profession

carried

with

it

a

picture

of

a

risky

existence

with

uncertain

financial

rewards.（我的祖父教了將近四十年的音樂。盡管他在社區(qū)里備受愛戴和尊敬，但他掙的錢僅夠養(yǎng)活他的大家庭。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)家庭例子，只要一提到音樂這個(gè)職業(yè)，人們就會(huì)聯(lián)想到一種充滿風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和不確定性的存在。）可知，作者的父母不想讓他從事音樂事業(yè)，主要是因?yàn)橐魳匪坪跏且粋€(gè)不穩(wěn)定和具有經(jīng)濟(jì)挑戰(zhàn)的事業(yè)。故選D。

（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段首句Before

my

graduation

from

college，the

family

met

with

severe

financial

reverses

and

I

felt

it

my

duty

to

leave

college

and

take

a

job.（在我大學(xué)畢業(yè)之前，家里遭遇了嚴(yán)重的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難，我覺得我有責(zé)任離開大學(xué)去找份工作。）可推知，作者在畢業(yè)之前輟學(xué)了。故選B。

（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的I

went

into

it

for

money，and

aside

from

the

satisfaction

of

being

able

to

help

the

family，money

is

all

I

got

out

of

it.（我從事這項(xiàng)工作是為了錢，除了能夠幫助這個(gè)家庭的滿足感之外，錢是我從中獲得的全部。）可知，作者從商業(yè)生涯中獲得的最重要的東西是一筆可觀的財(cái)富。故選C。

（4）主旨大意題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的I

really

lived.I

was

a

free

man

and

I

was

doing

what

I

loved

to

do

and

what

I

was

meant

to

do.（我真的活過來了。我是一個(gè)自由的人，我在做我喜歡做的事和我應(yīng)該做的事。）以及最后一段If

I

had

stayed

in

business，I

might

be

a

comparatively

wealthy

man

today，but

I

do

not

believe

I

would

have

made

a

success

of

living.I

would

have

given

up

all

those

inner

satisfactions

that

money

can

never

buy.（如果我一直從商，我今天可能會(huì)比較富有，但我不相信我的生活會(huì)很成功。我會(huì)放棄所有那些金錢買不到的內(nèi)心滿足。）可知，作者在文章中想要傳達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)是做自己喜歡的事情是最好的生活這個(gè)道理。故選D。

本文是一篇記敘文。主要介紹了作者為了幫助家庭解決經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)不得不放棄自己的音樂夢(mèng)想去經(jīng)商，后來他義無反顧去國(guó)外繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)音樂的故事。

閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋?？忌紫纫屑?xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)。

8~11.【答案】C、D、A、B【解析】（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Totrytogethispeers（同齡人）todothesame，theboyfromPerucameupwiththeideaofaneco-bank，theBartselanaStudentBank，whichallowskidsofallagestobecomefinanciallyindependentwhilealsohelpingtheenvironment.（為了讓他的同齡人也這樣做，這個(gè)來自秘魯?shù)哪泻⑾氤隽艘粋€(gè)生態(tài)銀行的主意，即巴特塞拉納學(xué)生銀行，它讓所有年齡的孩子在經(jīng)濟(jì)上獨(dú)立的同時(shí)也幫助保護(hù)環(huán)境。）可知，Jose建立銀行的目的是節(jié)省很多錢和保護(hù)環(huán)境，故選C。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Tobecomeamember，akidhastobringinatleast5kilogramsofwasteandsetasavingsgoal.（要成為會(huì)員，一個(gè)孩子必須帶來至少5公斤的垃圾，并設(shè)定一個(gè)儲(chǔ)蓄目標(biāo)。）可知，通過提出一個(gè)儲(chǔ)蓄目標(biāo)和一定量的垃圾，孩子就可以成為生態(tài)銀行的會(huì)員，故選D。

（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中"At

the

beginning，my

teachers

thought

I

wascrazy，and

thought

that

a

child

could

not

undertake

this

type

of

project，"Jose

recalls.（"一開始，我的老師認(rèn)為我瘋了，認(rèn)為一個(gè)孩子不可能承擔(dān)這種類型的項(xiàng)目，"Jose回憶說。）可知，老師們對(duì)Jose的項(xiàng)目持懷疑的態(tài)度，故選A。

（4）段落大意題。根據(jù)第四段中的Notsurprisingly，Jose'seffortshaveearnedhimseveralnationalandinternationalawards.（毫不奇怪，Jose的努力為他贏得了幾個(gè)國(guó)內(nèi)和國(guó)際獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。）可知，本段主要講了Jose項(xiàng)目取得的成就，故選B。

本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了兒童Jose建立了生態(tài)銀行，孩子們通過存垃圾來儲(chǔ)蓄，既保護(hù)環(huán)境又實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立。

考查記敘文。做題時(shí)要通讀全文，把握大意，然后結(jié)合題干及選項(xiàng)做出正確的選擇。

12~15.【答案】C、C、D、C【解析】（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Let's

clear

up

a

common

misunderstanding

first；technically

speaking，the

name

"Big

Ben"

does

not

refer

to

the

famous

tower，nor

to

the

four

huge

clock

faces

of

this

London

landmark；instead，it

refers

to

the

largest

one

of

the

five

bells

inside

the

clock

tower.（讓我們先澄清一個(gè)常見的誤解，從技術(shù)上講，"大本鐘"這個(gè)名字并不是指著名的鐘樓，也不是指這個(gè)倫敦地標(biāo)的四個(gè)巨大的鐘面，而是指鐘樓內(nèi)五座鐘中最大的一座。）可知，可知，"大本鐘"這個(gè)名字實(shí)際上指的是里面最大的鐘。故選C。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中The

tower

is

316

feet

high.The

spire

of

the

tower

is

built

with

an

iron

frame，and

it

is

this

frame

which

supports

the

weight

of

the

bells.Several

small

rooms

are

built

into

the

lower

part

of

the

tower，including

a

small

prison

cell.（這座塔有316英尺高。塔的尖頂是用一個(gè)鐵框架建造的，正是這個(gè)框架支撐著鐘的重量。塔樓的下部建有幾個(gè)小房間，其中包括一個(gè)小牢房。）可知，鐘樓高316英尺。鐘樓有300多英尺高。故選C。

（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中The

dials

are

23

feet

in

diameter

and

the

faces

themselves

are

not

solid，but

are

made

up

of

many

small

pieces

of

opal

glass，like

a

glass

window.Several

of

the

central

pieces

of

glass

can

be

removed

to

make

it

easier

for

people

to

check

the

hands

of

the

clock

from

inside.（表盤直徑23英尺，表面本身不是實(shí)心的，而是由許多小塊蛋白石玻璃組成，就像玻璃窗一樣。一些中心的玻璃碎片可以被移除，使人們更容易從內(nèi)部檢查時(shí)鐘的指針。）可知，乳濁玻璃時(shí)鐘面的好處是可以拆下玻璃檢查指針。故選D。

（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中The

spire

of

the

tower

is

built

with

an

iron

frame，and

it

is

this

frame

which

supports

the

weight

of

the

bells.（鐘樓的塔尖是用鐵框架建造的，正是這個(gè)框架支撐著鐘的重量。）可知，鐘掛在鐘樓的塔尖里。故選C。

這是一篇說明文。本文主要介紹了英國(guó)的大本鐘，分別從鐘樓和鐘的建造等方面詳細(xì)介紹了大本鐘。
